“On 5/614, I noticed a shredded piece of plastic from a blue tarp was under my 1999 Dodge NEON. Apparently it had blown under the car by the wind. I pulled the plastic piece out from under my car, and in so doing I heard a distinct twang noise. Curious, I knelt down and peered under the car and was horrified to see one of the metal straps that holds the fuel tank up was broken due to corrosion. One section was hanging down several inches, but not long enough to reach the ground. …”
